Building on the Balsam Hill Studio concept first introduced in Hawaii, the Laguna Beach location will offer a highly curated collection of artisan-crafted holiday keepsakes inspired by the character and culture of Laguna Beach and California. Designs will celebrate familiar local icons and experiences, including the Pacific Ocean and sea life, California road signs, the California state flag and other symbols that capture the spirit of the Golden State.

The collection is designed to capture the distinctive sense of place that makes California memorable. From coastal-inspired designs to recognizable symbols of the state, each ornament offers customers a way to commemorate a favorite destination, road trip, vacation or special moment and bring that memory home to enjoy for years to come.

The store will feature Balsam Hill Studio’s Art of Glass, showcasing handcrafted glass ornaments with intricate details and artistic designs. The collection reflects the artistry and craftsmanship behind Balsam Hill Studio’s destination-inspired keepsakes and offers customers meaningful pieces designed to become part of their holiday traditions for years to come.

“Balsam Hill Studio was created around the idea that ornaments can be more than beautiful decorations—they can tell the stories of the places we’ve been and the memories we’ve made,” said Mac Harman, founder and CEO of Balsam Hill. “Laguna Beach is such a distinctive and inspiring destination, and we’re excited to interpret the California experience through our handcrafted designs and introduce the Balsam Hill Studio concept to a new audience.”

The Laguna Beach opening marks the next chapter in the evolution of Balsam Hill Studio, expanding the concept to California and creating new opportunities to celebrate the places, people and experiences that make the holiday season meaningful.

The Balsam Hill Studio Laguna Beach will preview its grand opening on Friday, November 6, welcoming guests to experience the new destination during the evening event. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place Friday, November 6th at 2 pm, with Balsam Hill executives and Mayor Mark Orgill and Mayor Pro Tem Hallie Jones in attendance. All events are free and open to the public.
